If Single-Stranded Binding protein (SSB) is NOT present during DNA replication, what would you expect to see?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The process of DNA replication will be greatly affected and could lead to no new DNA strands formed, incomplete DNA replication, mutation, destabilization of the single stranded DNA regions, other proteins involved in replication can be greatly affected if absent during replication.

It could affect other processes involving repairs and modifications of the DNA.

Explanation:

Single stranded DNA binding proteins are proteins that bind to the single stranded regions of the DNA and are involved in the addition of complementary necleotides to the single strand of a replicating DNA.

It is also involved in stabilizing the single stranded DNA replicating, as well as promotes and modifies the functions of other proteins involved in the DNA replication.
